Boreal Development was awarded a Brownfield Cleanup grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct site remediation for the two lots we own in the Irving neighborhood at 218 S 59th Ave W, Duluth, MN 55807. The soil is contaminated with arsenic and benzo(a)pyrene equivalent exceeding the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's soil reference values for residential use. 

​

We held a listening session in November 2024 where several neighborhood residents shared their perspectives about what they would like to see for housing in the area. At right is an initial site plan, but we will hold more sessions and opportunities for input before this is finalized.
